I have never seen a professional basketball player do what Reese did in the final seconds of those two Liberty games.


I've seen it happen before. I would hope that Coach 'spoon pulled her to the side and spoke to her about it.

Yeah, it's one thing to want to keep your streak going, but the time for that was during the meat of the game, not at the end when it was clear that the game was over and your team lost. That isn't leadership.

I hope this was a teachable moment for her. She's young, after all. Gotta tighten up Angel.


After the first attempt that the Liberty snuffed out, Angel was still calling for the ball on the perimeter, and I think it was Lindsay Allen was just like, "Yeah...no," and ran out the clock.
Just because it happened to you, doesn't make it interesting.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Natasha Cloud is so fun to watch. Easily my favorite player in the league outside of my Liberty

As she should have. If I'm a veteran on that roster, me and Angel would have a conversation in the locker room after the game.

It's all apart of growing and maturing. A few years from now I guarantee if Angel sees that she's going to cringe.

In game player interviews between quarters is hilarious but also very cool. I like it as a fan. NBA players would hate it.

Lynx aren't the most talented team around, but I love the way they play ball. Movement, sharing, finding good shots.

Their defense is still pretty solid even without Collier too

I think for the players it's OK but it's kinda hard for some of them to talk right after coming off the court due to them trying to breathe.

dorka needs to work on a midrange shot i think. whenever she gets it on the perimeter she always puts her head down and bulldoze her way forward. sometimes she can get to the rim and score just like that but a lot of times she gets too far into traffic
